A run sheet (sometimes called an abstract run sheet or chain run) is a tabular summary of every document found in the county records for a specific parcel. It typically lists grantor, grantee, document type, recording date, book and page (or reception number), and a short description of what the document conveys.
Run sheets are the working artifact a landman produces while tracing title. A complete, well-organized run sheet makes it possible for an attorney to issue a title opinion without returning to the courthouse.
Traditional run sheets are built manually by pulling index cards or grantor/grantee indexes at the county courthouse. AI-assisted platforms like MineralScout automate this by ingesting county records directly and assembling the run sheet programmatically.
